Yes, I do. And the ones that aren't Bernie fans will see just how absurdly biased the juries are.

But you just went after me, a supporter, for my transparency page. What's that about?

Fair enough. I'd say that guns are a big issue, given the 30,000 gun deaths every year.

Over 30,000 Americans had died of AIDS without a word from Reagan and yet Hillary said this:

Most gun deaths are suicides which IMO is a violent act so we can call it gun violence.

First of all, until the 5-4 Heller decision, the 2A was always interpreted with respect

Sure, if we get some liberal justices. The Heller decision was written by Scalia, in fact.

Hi Dan can you post a link to back up your claim about Bernie's "speech at Bob Jones University"?

So we can agree then that your op was in fact entirely made up bullshit.

Actually you just made shit up. You couldn't even get the venue right.

This attack of yours on me is in keeping with the level of dishonesty that Bernie fans have shown

Did you even bother to read the speech that you alleged proves his social conservatism?

I'm being called a liar because I mixed up the university. And I think it's great.

I did read the speech, and you decided to dishonestly attack me for a trivial mistake.
